66 1988 WATER POLO ENCOUNTERS A DIFFICULT SEASON IN EMPIRE LEAGUE Playing to gain experience, the first-year polo players played their hearts out. With only two returning members, Adrian Stin- gaciu and Chris Allred, the team suffered in the beginning; but after a little practice, the team was ready to begin its battles. Practicing day and night (literally), the team gradually progressed each and every day. Coach Broski, being the head coach for both Varsity and JV teams, had one heck of a time coaching both teams at once. Having a job during the day and coming to coach a bunch of sixteen- year-olds in the evening showed a lot of dedica- tion on Coach Broski ' s part. For the second year, the water polo team had girls on the team; and this year, there were six girls on the Frosh-Soph Team. Though the girls were polite on the pool deck, they were very dangerous in the water. With outstanding freshmen, experienced play- ers, and a dedicated coach, the JV Frosh-Soph Team was a family of happy Saxons. two ,T iK three

68 V. VOLLEYBALL REACH THEIR GOAL ' e have proven what hard work and determination can do. This is how the 1988-89 Varsity Volleyball Team described their victorious year. With a seriousness of purpose they continually strove for perfection. This pursuit of excel- lence on the court lasted the entire season. Many congratulations went to the team when their hard work took them to the CIF Championships. With an unfortunate loss in their second game, they were eliminated from the tournament. However, making the CIF play-offs in addition to their much improved record brought much pride to Loara. The team, composed of strong, confident players with many di- verse talents and skills, performed solidly throughout the season. Coach Mike Hinton described the team in the following words: With the young players and the experience of the older ones, I think we play well as a unit. The power of the outside attack and the versatility of the players made for a really good season. four
